Markham / Tomlin marriage and census info plse

[Jacquie in Canada]

Thanks both

I think I've cracked it.  There is an Elizabeth Marie Markham who married Frederick Sculthorp in London in 1893.  Elizabeth Sculthorp is head of the family in 1911 census and John Tomlin is a lodger with children.

1901 census has Elizabeth & Frederick mis transcribed as Scullkost.

So I am now looking for a marriage of  Elizabeth Sculthorp & John Tomlin

Where did you find a 1893 marriage for them?

The London, England, Church of England Marriages and Banns, 1754-1921 database at Ancestry has a marriage for Frederick John Alexander Sculthorpe, son of Frederick John Sculthorpe marrying Elizabeth Maria Markham, daughter of John Markham on 13 Nov 1887 in St Thomas, Bethnal Green. The FreeBMD also has a marriage registration which has the two on the same page for the 4th quarter of 1887 in Bethnal Green (vol 1c, page 592).

Hi Jacquie

Yes that is the right marriage.  I got the date wrong.


Thanks

George served in WW1. Here is a link to his Attestation papers. There are 2 pages here. Library and Archives Canada are in the process of digitizing the entire files so his entire military record will eventually be free to view on line. LAC is currently working through 'H' so it will be a while before 'T' is completed.

Looks like there may be another child....

A Lilian Tomlin age 11 appears to have travelled alone to Canada in 1912, arriving 23 Nov 1912 on the Corsican. She was travelling to Hamilton Ontario to join her father, a shoemaker. She arrived in Halifax and then had to travel by train from there.

Grace and Lilian Tomlin are rooming together in Hamilton in the 1921 census.

Added: Lilian Tomlin daughter of John Tomlin and Clara Joy married Alexander Joncas 26 June 1922 in Hamilton. Grace was one of the witnesses.

Thanks again that's wonderful.   I can't imagine an 11 year old traveling all that way on her own.

Added - On Elizabeth obituary it mentions Mrs A Joncas
